  • necron warriors should stay in close combat and take out as many guys as possible unless fighting orks because the sweeping advance will ussually kill them because necrons fail at initiative

  • @TheRockNbombeR Necrons don't fight well. Trust me. Close combat is death for Necrons.

  • haw do you kill necrons if thay keep comeing back thats bullshit fuck you necronss i have to battel them and if i win at a gw shop i get 200 dollers what shold i doo with my space merans im fucked hard core :(

  • @nicksthepimp Necrons just got updated. Their wariors isn't that bad anymore. Now they only have a 4+ save and a 5+ revival chance (4+ with a rez orb) So you should be able to take them down.

  • @kingsting12 im still scared shit liss im new and im the first terny and im fucked what army are you

  • @nicksthepimp I play 3 armies. My Core Army (and first army) was the Necrons. I have right now about... 10000 points or something of them (yeah I know, spend alot of money on my hobby :D) Also I have some Chaos Spacemarines (around 3000-4000 points). My latest army is the Tyranids, I only have about 1000 points of them though.

    Anyway, you shouldn't be worried about faceing the Necrons. Just keep shoting at them and you should be fine :-)

  • now they only have 4+ saves

  • I just can't wait till the new necrons will be out! Have u guys cn them! I am just going to start Necrons when the new ones come out and i dont think i am going to be good at playing them in the beggining. so yeah. KEEP GAMING!!!

  • lol

    run away then shoot then run away

  • The reason why i hate necrons

  • ((Read 2 posts below))

    Now picture an Apocolypse battle of say 9000 pts? Place 3 or 4 Monoliths and 1 Necron Lord with Veil of Darkness, spend about 4000/5000 points worth of Warriors and fill the rest with anything you like. Give your Lord 10 Pariahs as retinue, so they can teleport every turn ;). Also, I usually rely heavily on (Heavy) Destroyers. Being able to move 12" a turn and shoot every turn with their 36" range; S 6(9*); AP 4(2*); Heavy 3(1*) weapons (*Heavy Destroyers), their badass.

  • ((Read post below.))

    OPTION 2.1 You can use the crystal on your Monolith to allow reserves to enter the battlefield through it. One unit per turn per Monolith.

    OPTION 2.2 Give your Necron Lord a Veil of Darkness. This will allow you to teleport him and the unit he's joined EVERY turn. Now, the crystal on your Monolith can also be used to teleport units. Just pick any unit on the table(has to have Necron sp. rule), and place it next to the Monolith's portal. One unit per turn per Monolith.

  • Necron are a perfect army for tactics, you just gotta know which! What he (probably) wanted to say about the Monolith, well they have that big crystal right?

    OPTION 1. You can use it as a Particle Whip, which, in combination with it's Gauss Flux Arcs, can destroy pretty much any infantry. Don't get cocky against Terminators though, they'll tear your Monolith up

  • fail ur moral check, and you likely will, you get to participate in a sweeping advance roll. having the lowest initiative in the game, necrons are likely to lose this and have the whole squad wiped, NO WBB ALLOWED. now ur just one step closer to phase out. This guy obviously doesnt know how to fight assult based armies. Necrons will be out of cc in 1 turn normally, 2 if ur lucky.

  • @CSMatherly I agree necrons arent very good, but dont dis epic Mike, but when I played against necrons the guy actually fielded a very good army of them using alot of warriors destroyers (heavy) and monoliths. Used lord with resourrection orbs as well. And for your information necrons are fearless so sweeping advance doesnt work.

  • @kapppow4 WOW. I run necrons and ill tell you they are not fearless but they all have leadership 10. Therefore, it does work, and when you get 30 boys or 30 hormoguants getting their attacks on you you will lose 8 models at least and you will have to roll snake eyes or get sweeping advanced. I know necrons, kid. Thankfully we're getting a new codex released tomorrow so we'll have some reasonable units now. Now, did you happen to win ur game against necrons?

  • Problems with what this idiot said...

    -warriors fucking suck and if you field as many of them as this fucknut says, ur just gonna phase out

    -necrons ABSOLUTELY suck in cc. hey asshole, its called sweeping advance, ever heard of it? if you get assaulted by ork boys, tyranid gaunts, or a space marine assault squad, you will lose at least 8 guys (normally. it depends on the rolls but lets be honest). then you get ur attacks, 1 per model. fanfuckingtastic. good luck rolling snake eyes. when you

  • Matt Ward.

    Hattin' on Necrons since 2008.

  • .... I am two years late for the sale...

  • YOU NEVER TALKED ABOUT THAT LATER YOU LYING QUITTER!!!!!

  • @miniwars123 you know he moved out of the office::: right?!?!?!?!

  • @MrSyrupman007 Yes, he made this video 3 years ago...

  • More necrons tactics!!!!

  • @XlangZ77 What bout it WBB doesn't automatically mean they be back ! you roll 4+

    ok, say 4 are "Pw kill, double strength kill" Majority you end up kill yourself + YOU NEED THE SAME TYPE OF NECRON. "THAT SO AWESOME"

    Resurrection orb yeah ok but are you really saying you have a lord just for that reason in every unit

    Flayed ones/Wraith/Worriers?

    the orb is able to augment war gear. so way can you do the same with a DF on normal armour? if it works on VA then the farty NA easy

  • @ldjaxx do you have power weapons in every unit ?

  • @CiceroProductionsIII

    No now I Ask/tell that the gauss are Rending "And before the ALL THE NO'S Codex printed in 02. 5th rules printed in 08"

    My augument was if you but bf on Flayed ones/Wraith/scarabs "reading inbetween the lines" turn claws into power weapons................. But no one would play

  • Live forever, YEAH RIGHT. Power weapons and not SUCKING AT DICE ROLL!

  • @ldjaxx What about *cough* resurrection orb *cough* WBB even from power weapons.

  • How did you paint the you paint the necron in the backround?

  • i have a problem i never played this game on the board ): but i hace eldar support weapon tyranid support weapon and death guard space marines

  • OR....read a tactica section of a white dwarf magazine with tactics ESPECIALLY with necrons.

  • How did mike get blue transparent rods for his gauss weapons. My necrons are gonna be blue and gold and I'd really like to know how to do that

  • @MrPJstahl buy them at a hobby/model shop

  • necrons have more then one tactic

  • I have a 1500 pt army With the deciever and 2 lords .With this very versatile force I,m Undeafeated.Monoliths are AMAZING!!!!!!!!

  • @MrMack1376 You cant run a army with 3 HQ units, so winning or not its not a legal list

  • @1masterofstuff after i posted tis iread it in the main rulebook so i just use the lord and deciever instead of 2 lords/deciever combo.

  • Your basic troop can destroy their toughest tank....this is fair and legal?

  • make an immortal tactic any way just use them to contest objective

  • @wazdakka131211 i personally use my immortals coupled with a lord w/ veil of darkness to teleport wherever needed and shoot those str 5 blasters at the enemy, then assault them (warscythe = no saves = win) , then wbb next turn, and monolith portal to get any extra wbb rolls then rinse and repeat.

  • The monolith tactic that the guy was going to talk about is: When any Necron unit that have the WBB rule (Warriors, Lords, Flayed Ones, Immortals, Destroyers, Heavy Destroyers, Wraiths) are within 18in of a monolith, they can teleport to it, whether in close combat or not. If you have any guys that got downed and failed their WBB rolls, teleport them to the monolith and you can RE-ROLL that unit's WBB rolls for the failed models. Beware though, you teleport, and you lose shooting the PW.

  • cool

  • PPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NERCON TACTICA NECRON TACTICA NER+CRON TACTICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­A!!!!!!

  • can you guys do any tau tactics

  • run and shoot? I like these guys!

  • almost 2 years since last necron tactics

  • I sure hope the necrons and their rules dont get nurfed in the new codex.

  • tomb stalkers;p i just ordered £200 quid worth of necrons from you guys for about £145! miniwargaming UK = win ^^

  • tomb stalkers;p

  • that is indeed the necron tactic. its an epic tactic

  • RUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D­

  • WOW its a yung Shao Kan :P

  • necrons are pimp if you can keep enough of your boys alive, nightbringer best hq in the game and necron troops are the arguably the best basic infantry in the game, thats why they phase out, cuz if they didnt have a setback they would be labeled cheez...so anyway go necrons

  • Necrons have always had a limited variety of troops compared to everyone else, but nobody seems to complain about it.

  • 30 necron warriors = 1 titan

  • how many points are scarab swarms

    i dont have the codex yet so i dont know

  • the monolith has an a ability to pull necrons out of cose combact and summon them in front of the monolith so they can shoot so thats really good against someone like genestealers

  • PLEASE give the 'Crons a new codex and make it less cheesy! The warriors are very hard to kill and 18 pts for Glancing weapons, a Marine Profile and a 4+ I'll be back safe is just weird. The Nightbringer should be called the Cheesebringer and a Monlith... It's... Ehhmm... If you milk it.... Cheese.

  • @1hermans1 Well unfortunately for you,there are armies with even more need to get a new codex,like Daemonhunters and Witch-hunters and Dark Eldar and ther has been a lot of rumurs about Daemnhunters being the next in-line.

  • @1hermans1 dude necrons are one of the WORST armies in the game right now. So easy to beat...

  • whens the next necron tactica vid im dying here D':

  • yay for necrons!!!

  • lol 0:52 that happend to me my freind sent his space wolves at my swarms they cept my entire army from phasing out WIN

  • The only tactics you need for warriors are:

    1. Put them all within 6 inches of the res orb.

    2. Put them near a monolith.

    3.Veil of Darkness/Phase through the monolith out of close combat and rapid fire faces off.

    4. Hide.

  • I hate MiniWargaming these days i mean common when i click on this video you give me a worthless 1 minute video that dosent teach me anything. It's like you rush the videos so you can tell everybody about your sale.

  • Come on!

    It cannot be the only tactic!

    Should I play shooting or close combat? 15 destroyers can destroy 25 ork boyz in only 1 round!

  • Lol last forever in combat? My orks clean them out in a single round nearly every time

  • Don't even think about that!

    A single necron warrior has a 3+save and a 4+ self repair! And if I use the monolith portal, I get an extra self repair 4+ dice!!!!!!!

    THEY LAST FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

  • @RasenShuriken2323 you don't get either if its a power klaw that takes them down OR you don't have an identical model within 6" that's not dead. And if you have your squads that closely spaced when a mob hits you, you really have lost.

  • @ZatoichiBlindSword Come on! Have you heard about ressurection orb?

    Space orks cannot even touch the necrons.... Destroyers and Immortals can clean out a whole ork army BEFORE he reaches the necrons!

  • @RasenShuriken2323 Bring it. I'll mop them before turn 5

  • @RasenShuriken2323 if you roll well on immobilizing battle wagons and trukks. because good players wouldn't care about destroyers, just go straight for your warriors and phase you out.

  • @Gruntoffry in a 1750 battle I play with 30 warriors and 2 monoliths.

    I defy you to destroy all of them!!!!

    even if all of them are destroyed my 8 destroyers and the necron lord will keep me from phasing out.!

  • @RasenShuriken2323 monolith versus deff rolla.... deff rolla wins.

  • @Gruntoffry Battlewagon vs Necrons. Necrons win. Necrons=Tank Hunters

  • @RasenShuriken2323 god... you haven't played this game,,,

  • @RasenShuriken2323 Hmm... Yesterday I destroyed a battlewagon with 3 wraiths.

  • @ZatoichiBlindSword The codex actually doesn't say the model within 6 inches of the dead model has to be alive or dead. It just says a model of the same type, but not necessarily of the same squad.

  • @Gruntoffry Same model within 6", A necron lord with Res orb within 12", or a tomb spyder within 6".

    All of those will allow you to use the we'll be back rule.

  • @RasenShuriken2323 They don't last forever.

  • @Gruntoffry yes, they do.

  • in a necron appocolypse army how many men should you have??

  • you never talked about the monolith  I've looked on your channel and on your web site and theres no monolith tactics give us more necron tactics!!!

  • Jesus mini war gaming dont care for there videos reaally thats all the tactics you can give us a bunch of necron warriors what the hell.

  • LET THEM SWIM IN WARRIORS!!!

  • When are the necrons going to come out with new units. There at least two more gods. I think it's about time to widen the variety

  • New codex is said to be released later this year :D

    Can not wait!!

  • @generalgrant99

    Rumor is we're getting a new 'dex in early 2011, which will also likely include a few new Necron units, like plastic Immortals and the other two C'tan.

  • @generalgrant99

    I do love reading the fluff in the codex that suggest that there is a new God right next to Earth. But, I'm sure GW will STILL make it in favor of Space Marines. :/

  • @SwiftNightRunner Even though that C'tan being is refered to as the Void Dragon which is the God Of Machines. The Tech Priests will all bow down to its will without their consent and all vehicles on Mars will be under its control. In the Necron codex three LIGHT cruiser ships went on a suicide mission to Mars and they wiped out the defenses around the mining complex its imprisoned in and one ship LANDED before being insinerated from space from reinforcments.

  • @generalgrant99 one is imprisoned, the other is insane. C'tan are perhaps the one Necron unit category that can not be expanded.

  • @generalgrant99 there getting a new codex soon

  • @generalgrant99 the other two are the outsider and void dragon, void dragon is trapped on mars so he is probably not coming but the outsider might there r also rumors that there will be lots more tanks

    the tomb stalker just came out one forge world might want to check that out

  • @generalgrant99 It's coming. Summer apparently.

  • @generalgrant99 Too busy making new Space Marine codexs

  • @generalgrant99

    why not organise a petition to GW ? :)

    as someone said before, I also think there's too many Imperial-related armies. plus they overlap by several units. Waste of printing space :/

    New units for Necrons should be way more interesting ...

  • warriors and 15 destroyers

  • THE FREAKIN BLIND MOUSE GAVE YOU GUYS NOTHING BUT CRAP THEIR HASNT BEEN A SINGLE NECRON TACTIC VIDEO SINCE THAT SO CMON MINIWARGAMING THE MOUSE IS GOING TO GET EATEN BY YOU GUYS!!!

    (btw please dont let the poor mouse die :(

  • I don't think they read this comments :P

  • lol i thought that would be the tactics by the look at thier stats they r perfect for spam tactic as i like to call it..im thinking of starting a 40k army so that me and my friends can all play and im thinking of necrons if necrons arnt a good starter army please tell me cause i dont want to wast all my money then find out they r horible for starters

  • Blaaargh, Make a video from Monolith tactic and make another longer vid with like wraiths and immortals and flayed ones on same!

    Miniwargaming Rulzez!

  • its hard to kill terminators with them

    and plzz more necron tactics

  • @yezze0 Heavy destroyers ^^

  • @yezze0 If you controll a necron army you are not going to kill the terminators. You can simply immobilise them by close combat with some scarabs...

  • @RasenShuriken2323 If you cop out and bring a C'tan, then yes you're going to eat the soft, delicious inside that is terminator soul.

    6 attacks on a charge, S10, T8, 5 wounds, WS6. If you roll 6 hits, and then 6 2+'s, that's 6 termies dead with no saves available.

    2+ armor save? That's kinda funny... 4+ invuln save? That's cute! OM NOM NOM NOM.

  • @Gruntoffry Hey, you can't make all 6 hits. You are going to kill 3-4 termies on average. Of course the c'tan and ariahs are termie killers, but it's difficult to include them in a 1000-1500 army list, since they are very expensive.

  • come on more necron TACTICS PIZ COME ON

    U KNOW U WHANT TO

  • you said you`ll talk about the monolith soon.....IT`S 2010 NOW! TALK ABOUT IT!

    please

  • @TauLord1218 Simple tactics.

    You take one along.

    you kill EVERYTHING with it....

    you can use your little teleporting trick to get 2 WBB rolls.

  • @TauLord1218

    I concur.

  • @TauLord1218 If you really want to know (even though its been about 7 months since you replied here xD) the Monolith has a teleportation ability. At the begining of your movement phase you can have the Monolith warp units in either from reserve or anywhere else on the battlefield directly to it. These units must be placed infront of it where its portal is and must remain in base contact. Even units in close combat can be warped away to the Monolith. Only one unit at a time though :/

  • @TauLord1218 2011 now....

  • @TauLord1218 its 2011 now

  • @TauLord1218 2011 now!!! Come on Miniwargaming!

  • @TauLord1218 Its 2011 now........

  • @gman1225 he posted the comment a year ago :P

  • @BlueEagle4825 Ha I know I was just playing off of it.

  • Erm, in 5th gauss can only glance vehicles and ergo not destroy them.. whats the tactics now boys :)

  • if you imobilise and then wepon destroyed and eather agen = wrecked

  • how are necrons not a good army they just come back to life

  • i think necrons are not a good 40k army (ITS JUST AN OPINION)

  • would it be possiable to use a monolith, ressurection orb, tomb spyder and the normal we'll be back roll to keep your units up?

  • monothith and normal yes but the ressurection orb and spyder and normal togther no

  • @Faydwarf Yes, it would be possible. But will there be space for other units?? :D

  • @RasenShuriken2323 not sure... i already collected up to 1750 points 2 units of 16 warriors, 2 lords (diff bodies n gear) 4 destroyers 2 monoliths, n 7 scarab swarms, i got 2 tomb spyders cause i read the rule on them wrong, they allow we'll be back when theres no like unit... so epic fail on that :D but i put them together and painted them, i personally think they look awsome and it was fun

  • necrons rule!!!!!

  • I hate playing against necrons because their Nightbringer has 5 wounds initiative 6 strength 10 a 4+ invluln save and they ignore aromour and invlun saves

  • ok.... is that the only reason?? ive shot the nightbringer down in one turn, althought that was probably more due to my extremely lucky rolls or my opponents extremely unlucky ones :P

  • yeah the guy i plat agaisnst always has super lucky rolls tho

  • @damekshopproductions nightbringer sucks ass. how do you beat him? plasma and melta guns drop in some high balistic skill models within rapid fire and you can toast him. by the way railguns FTW.

  • i play nids and they dont have plasma/ melta guns

  • they do have bio plasma which is the same strength as imperial plasma. other than that crap loads of gaunts that keep coming back to tie them up in close combat. then bring up the big beasts and tear them them to shreds

  • my fexes dont have bio plasma and i dont have unlimited cash so i cant have loads of gaunts

  • so use without number more and if you have genestealers then outflanking will be deadly especially if you have rending claws

  • i do all that tho

  • well other than that i can only refer you to the awesome now toys that the nids will be getting in a few days time. points costs are going down apparently too for most things so more bang for your buck. one other rumor is floating around about them possibly bringing back old one eye and the red terror with official playable rules.

  • yeah im gettin a mawloc cant wait

  • @damekshopproductions Initiative 4.

    Sniper rifles or wraithcannons can kill him easily.

  • the Necron's lord Vail of Darkness is better for running away or getting your flayed ones where you want them

  • i just started necrons, i bought 2 battleforces for selling my orks, and their very fun to play! those tau will think twice before coming at my destroyers

  • nice u have tons of warriors and have the destoryers cover air

  • im using a very elites and fast atk heay necron army with only 40 warriors just because i dont want the big boring warrior blob army thats the same game every time you play I use 6 wraith 5 destroyers 10 pariahs 10 flayed ones 10 immortals and lord with viel to teleport immortals around shooting and tele every turn and a destroyer lord with max retinue of scarabs and a warsythe to hunt HQ. Pretty much warriors hold objectives while the rest make as big a mess posable, I play for enjoyment first

  • it's just frustrating fighting a squad of necrons by their monolith if you're an assault intensive army. they ALL come back every turn and get shots on you every time DESPITE being in assault.

  • whats the rule that can take down heavy support

  • @humandalek1234

    Gauss is the vehicle killing rule

  • lol

  • best tactic to use warriors that i recently pulled on a space marine player is to force them to feel over confident chase you down set up an ambush placing your units in cover then glance ping them to death did this to take out a land raider that focused to hard on 3 destroyers and my monolith, he thought he had me and even telling him i had a trap waiting for him he still kept pushing into it, space marine players think we are easy winning but if you trap them then their done.

  • Thats pretty simple.

  • Comment removed

  • naw man im sure that your fag at 10 years old, but its ok, dont hate your self dude

  • Comment removed

  • your moms in asshole OH!!!!!!

  • @bigfischer1995 Sir! You disrespect us! Our government is more than capable of making more than one global crisis at a time!

  • sure what ever you say

  • fucking necrons Over Powered lol :P

  • there not overpowered it s just you that sucks at warhameer

  • learn to spell noob! lol

  • asshole I was righting fast so I spelled wrong dip shit

  • sure fag thats what they all say, you dont need to say more lol :P

  • that was easy, buy warriors

  • NECRON FTW what sucks dick is the fifth edition "can't destroy on a glancing hit" bullshit, I refuse to play fifth edition until new codex comes out.

  • Necron warriors are very good, idk what you guys are saying, but when used with monolith's and the like are almost unstoppable, put some spiders, and lords in there, and you have the necron castle. They will never die, can resist anything, and fall out of combat, and shoot again.

  • Necrons have good weapons, they are numerous and somewhat tough, but the selection of units is little and must units are slow moving

  • srsly tihs was before necrons were damped so that their glancing hits wouldnt kill so stfu with the bad comments.

  • The only word that I heard was MORE MORE MORE...

    far enough lol

  • Hey Mike what color red is that on you necrons?

  • Hm..I have to say...this was one of the most...unfurfilling tactica miniwargaming has ever produced..oh well..

  • easy tactic xD

  • is that it if it is then that is a load of crap

  • You really should do what he's saying.

    A: 20 Necrons equals Phase out, basically.

    B: 30 Necrons equals slightly more prolonged phase out

    C: 40 Necrons means you've got a chance.

    D: 50+ Necrons means you've got an army.

    P.S. I2 will kill your Necrons in sweeping advance. Do NOT get into CC.

  • is that how many you should have in your army or in a squad becouse i might want to start a necron army

  • wheres the monolith bit

  • i have 120 necron warriors (full 6 squads of 20 each)

  • its just on the warscythe the guass blaster is just a normal guass blaster

  • I think what he meant by the monolith is that you can teleport any necron squad like warriors to the front of the monolith (its portal/doorway). So this allows you to teleport them outa close combat. Plus if u do this after your WE WILL BE BACK roll(s) then any unit that failed may try again so you get 2 50/50 chances to bring em back :). Its been along time but i think thats right lol . BUT 2 do that the squad has to be like within 12 inches or something of the monolith, I forgot.
